The Monmouth-Roseville High School Performing Arts Department will present its spring musical, “Mamma Mia!,” on Friday and Saturday, March 18-19, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, March 20, at 2 p.m. at the Monmouth-Roseville High School Auditorium.
Featuring the music of Abba, “Mamma Mia” tells the story of Sophie, a young woman on the verge of marriage who only wants one thing – her father to walk her down the aisle. The only problem is that she doesn’t know who her father is.
After taking a peek at her mother’s diary, Sophie finds there are three likely candidates – Sam, Bill, or Harry. Without telling her mom, Sophie invites all three to her wedding, hoping that the instant she lays eyes on her father, she’ll know.
